Today. Many things that happened took longer then expected or had a glitch. Within the first hour, I hurt myself in little ways about 10 times, stepping on things or things falling on my head. I cleaned fo r3 hours, before I spent time with Michael and showered.Then I went to Target to make some returns, that went smooth, went to Walmart to return some scissors and had some money left over from the scissors and a pump to buy a Josh Groban CD. Some things that look inconvenient can have a blessing. I went to park at Ralphs and realized I forgot some things at home that I was going to return at Ralphs. Yes, how ever odd it sounds, returns at Ralphs. So I backed out of the spot and headed home to get them. That part went smooth. As I walked in our neighbor boy was in front of Ralphs collecting food for the local food pantry. I had over spent on groceries, and here he is asking me to donate. I told him I would bring it to him later. I would get some out of my cabinet at home and bring it across the street. What a blessing to run into him doing that. So I get home, collect my goodies and stick them in the car to be delivered later. Then…..I realize that I forgot to get some milk for my pies that I am making for Olive Crest. So….back to Ralphs for the 3rd time. Michael then asked me to make a deposit and ck the box at Post N Ship. Okay! Sigh. Deposit goes well and I then park in front of Post N Ship. Well, the sidewalk was flooded all the ways to Ralphs and it was pouring. So I head to Ralphs, give the donation bag to our neighbor and run in to get the milk. At least I thought thru to have the bag in the car. My shoes and pants are soaked. I get home, sit at my desk and realize that on my calendar, it says I am doing communion tomorrow. I better figure out what I am going to say. I did want more opportunities to speak, so I need to get busy. I find a few options and realize I can do that later and I’m not in the right mindset, have I been at all today anyways? I go inside and open the frozen crust, and one is folded over so I have to wait till it thaws to pour the pumpkin mixture into it. Waiting…..Oh yeah, this morning, I went to make the rolls for Olive Crest and the recipe said that all ingredients need to be room temperature. Wait…….I want to get to the library to write and I have to wait till the pies are done. I will cook the rolls later. They need to rise longer anyways. The pies are done! I head out quick to the library since trying to change my Zion reservation was taking more brains and time then I had at the moment. Michael says, doesn’t the library close early on Saturdays? Do you want me to ck? No….I am anxious to get out of the house to focus….feel busy in the head. I stop and get a coffee. Yeh, they have decaf, not getting caf again! Then the library says they close at 5 and it is 4 and they don’t allow food or drinks. I put my coffee in my backpack, hoping it doesn’t spill. I find a good spot to sit, get everything out of my backpack and what I thought was a plug, wasn’t. So I throw it all in, put my coffee back in the cup holder in my backpack and the lid isn’t on all the way, and some spills on the seat. So that’s why they say no drinks. I go ck out the quiet room, wooo, can’t go in there, stuffy and no windows. Still trying to not spill my coffee or my books in my backpack I find another seat near a window and open the blinds. Ahh!! Now I have 45 minutes and after writing this, 30. I guess I will head back to Limelight after this, it seemed quieter then a Starbucks. I guess I will take a sip of my coffee I have hiding next to my chair now. Taking another day in stride.
